A customer has requested that Inga Corporation fill a special order for 3,000 units of product K81 for $30 a unit. While the product would be modified slightly for the special order, product K81's normal unit product cost is $21.30:
Direct materials $ 5.40
Direct labor 6.00
Variable manufacturing overhead 2.50
Fixed manufacturing overhead 7.40
Unit product cost $21.30
Direct labor is a variable cost. The special order would have no effect on the company's total fixed manufacturing overhead costs. The customer would like modifications made to product K81 that would increase the variable costs by $1.00 per unit and that would require an investment of $14,000 in special molds that would have no salvage value.
This special order would have no effect on the company's other sales. The company has ample spare capacity for producing the special order. If the special order is accepted, the company's overall net operating income would increase (decrease) by:______.
A. $14,200
B. $31,300
C. $(13,700)
D. $(2,800)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

B. $31,300

Explanation:

Sales                                            $90,000

Less: Variable Cost                     $44,700

Less: Additional Fixed Cost        $14,000  

Increase in Operating Income  $31,300

Workings:

Sales= 3,000 unit * $30

Sales= 90,000

Variable cost = 3,000 unit * (5.4 + 6 + 2.5 +1)

Variable cost = 3,000 * 14.9

Variable cost = $44,700

Halifax Manufacturing allows its customers to return merchandise for any reason up to 90 days after delivery and receive a credit to their accounts. All of Halifax's sales are for credit (no cash is collected at the time of sale). The company began 2018 with an allowance for sales returns of $400,000. During 2018, Halifax sold merchandise on account for $12,500,000. This merchandise cost Halifax $8,750,000 (70% of selling prices). Also during the year, customers returned $613,000 in sales for credit. Sales returns, estimated to be 5% of sales, are recorded as an adjusting entry at the end of the year. Required: 1. Prepare an entry to record actual merchandise returns as they occur (not adjusting the allowance for sales returns), and then record a year-end entry to adjust the allowance for sales returns to its appropriate balance. 2. What is the amount of the year-end allowance for sales returns after the adjusting entry is recorded?

Answers

Answer:

Please refer to the below explanations.

Explanation:

A.

Sales return and allowance a/c Dr $613,000

To accounts receivable A/c Cr $613,000

(Being retuned goods that is recorded)

Merchandise inventory A/c Dr $429,100

($613,000 × 70%)

To cost of goods sold A/c Cr $429,100

(Being cost of goods sold that was recorded)

Estimated return is therefore;

= Sale value of merchandise × return percentage - actual return

= $12,500,000 × 5% - $613,000

= $625,000 - $613,000

= $12,000

B.

Sales return and allowance A/c Dr $12,000

To accounts receivable A/c Cr $12,000

(Being returned goods that were recorded)

Merchandise inventory A/c Dr $8,400

($12,000 × 70%)

To cost of goods sold A/c Cr $8,400

(Being cost of goods sold that were recorded)

Therefore, the computation for the year end allowance for sales return is same as $8,400.

A firm has a market value equal to its book value. Currently, the firm has excess cash of $1,200 and other assets of $7,800. Equity is worth $9,000. The firm has 600 shares of stock outstanding and net income of $760. What will the new earnings per share be if the firm uses its excess cash to complete a stock repurchase?

Answers

Answer: $1.46

Explanation:

Earnings per share = Net Income/Number of shares

Value of shares at current = 9,000/600

= $15 a share

Excess cash is $1,200.

Using that, the following number shares can be purchases;

= 1,200/15

= 80 shares

New number of shares = 600 - 80

= 520 shares

New EPS

= 760/520

= $1.46

The federal government doesn't have a capital budget; however, private enterprises do have a capital budget and when they invest in productive assets such as machinery it is recorded in their capital budget as an asset. What is one of the explanations why the federal government's investments are not discussed in relation to a capital budget and recorded as an asset like a private enterprise's investments are

Answers

Answer:

Hello the options in regards to your question is missing attached below is the complete question

Answer : Private enterprise's investments are in assets that are meant to increase production, which are going to earn revenues and pay for themselves. Thus, private enterprise's spending is unambiguously going towards investments. It is very difficult to determine when the federal government's spending is an investment. ( B )

Explanation:

The federal government's investments are not discussed in relation to a capital budget and recorded as an asset because It is very difficult to determine when the federal government's spending is an investment, because Federal Government is not actually designed to operate as a business entity

Suppose you work for a company that makes a product line for a large hardware chain. The chain asks you for a price quote for 30,000 units that will require a $1,500,000 investment with marginal costs of $15 per unit. What is the lowest price you are willing to quote

Answers

Answer:

$1,950,000

Explanation:

Note the company has a margin per unit cost and investment cost, where

investment cost =  $1,500,000

+

margin per unit cost =  $450,000 (30,000 x $15)

Thus, total cost = $1,950,000. Since companies do not want to make loses, but may allow for break-even, the lowest price to quote  should not be lesser than the total cost of $1,950,000.

g Builtrite has calculated the average cash flow to be $16,000 with a standard deviation of $4000. What is the probability of a cash flow being greater than $11,000? (Assume a normal distribution.)

Answers

Answer:

89.44%

Explanation:

As we know that:

Z = (Cash Flow - Mean) / Standard Deviation

Here

Cash flow is the observed value which is the lower limit here and is $11,000

Mean is the average value of the sample and is $16,000

Standard Deviation is $4,000

By putting values, we have:

Z = ($11,000 - $16,000) / $4,000

= -1.25

The Z value lower than -1.25 is 0.1056 or 10.56%

This means that the probability of cash flow lower than $11,000 is 10.56% and the probability of cash flow greater than $11,000 will be

Probability of cash flow = (1- 0.1056) = 0.8944  which is 89.44%

Best Foods, Inc. has an unlevered cost of capital of 10 percent. The company generates EBIT of $4,250 per year and has a tax rate of 35 percent. If the firm adds $10,000 of debt to its capital structure, what is the value of the levered firm?

Answers

Answer:

The value of the levered firm $31,125

Explanation:

Value of Firm is the value of present value of expected future earning. It is calculated by dividing the earning after tax by the cost of capital while considering that the business will operate for the foreseeable future time.

EBIT                      $4,250.00

Less

Interest                 $0.00        

EBT                       $4,250.00

Tax 35% x 4250  $1,487.50

EAT                       $2,762.50

Cost of Capial       10%

Value of firm = EAT / Cost of Capital = $2,762.5 / 10% = $27,625

Debt after tax = $10,000 x ( 1 - 0.35 ) = $6,500

Value of Equity = Value of firm - Debt after tax = $27,625 - $6,500 = $21,125

Value of debt = $10,000

Value of levered Firm = $21,125 + $10,000 = $31,125

A.

The company pays a supplier for inventory bought on account.

B.

The company declares, but does not pay, a cash dividend.

C.

The company purchases 10 shares of common stock in another company.

D.

The company reissues the treasury stock it holds.

Answers

Answer: D.  The company reissues the treasury stock it holds.

Explanation:

Earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Net Income by the weighted average number of shares that a company has outstanding. If the company reissues treasury stock, this would increase the number of average stock outstanding thereby increasing the denominator of the EPS equation which would have the effect of reducing the Earnings per share.

For instance, if a company had net income of $50 and common equity outstanding of $40, the EPS would be;

= 50/40

= $1.25

If the company reissues treasury stock of $30, the EPS would change to;

= 50/ (40 +30)

= $0.71

Sales Revenue                                     $695,000

Cost of goods sold                               $278,000

Gross profit                                            $417,000

Selling expenses                                    $77,500

Income tax rate (30%)                             75,900

Budgeted Net Income                          $177,100

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Estimates:

Sales = $695,000

Cost of goods sold = 40% of sales = $695,000 * 40% = $278,000

Selling expenses = $77,500

General and Administrative expenses = $86,500 - $19,500 = $67,000

Depreciation = $19,500

Income tax rate = 30%

b) Calgary Industries' budgeted net income of $177,100 is the result of deducting the operating expenses and income tax from the gross profit.  The gross profit of $417,000 is obtained by deducting the cost of goods sold from the Sales Revenue.  These profit points explain the economic returns created by the Calgary Industries.  They reflect its financial performance during the budgeted period.

c. $21193
d. $55,951
e. $65,151

Answers

Answer:Year 4 Cash flow =$65,151.----E

Explanation:

Salvage value of the equipment =$5,880

Book value at end of project  before sale = $4,940

Gain on disposal = $940

tax gain non disposal = 35% of $940 =0.35 x 940= $329

Amount after tax salvage value = $5,880 - $329=$5,551

Year 4 Cash flow = Operating cash flow +Net working capital +Amount after tax salvage value = $55,000 + $4,600 +$5551= $65,151.

Explanation:

A think global act local is a strategic business approach or concept which is aimed at achieving a low cost, effective cost, efficiency and focused strategy theme in all the locations where the firm has its operations but nonetheless avails local managers the opportunity and ability to adjust product

specifications, distribution and marketing channels to better satisfy local consumers, as well as effectively and efficiently match local market conditions.

Hence, the competitive strategy of a firm pursuing a "think global, act local" approach to strategy-making is essentially the same in all country markets where it competes but it may nonetheless give local managers room to make minor variations where necessary to better satisfy local buyers and to better match local market conditions.

Chester currently has $17,624 (000) in cash and management has decided to issue stocks and bonds worth an additional $8,000 (000). Assuming that cash from operations will be the same for each of the following activities, which activity exposes this company to the most risk of being issued an emergency loan?
a) purchasing $18,000 (000) worth of plant and equiptment
b) liquidate the new inventory
c) retiring the oldest bond
d) a $5 dividend

Answers

Answer: a) purchasing $18,000 (000) worth of plant and equipment

Explanation:

Of the 4 options listed, liquidating the new inventory would lead to a cash inflow and so is not going to lead to an emergency loan.

Retiring the oldest bond is something that would probably have been budgeted for so it will be less probable to cause Chester to seek emergency funding.

The activity that poses the greatest threat to Chester in terms of loan solicitation would be the purchase of plant and equipment. This would have less chance of being budgeted for and is a significant amount to leave the company which is even larger than the company's current cash amount. It has a higher chance of causing Chester to seek emergency loan funding.

pre-tax cost of debt = bond's yield to maturity

approximate YTM = {120 + [(1,000 - 1,329.55)/15] /  [(1,000 + 1,329.55)/2] = 98.03 / 1,164.775 = 0.08416 = 8.416%

approximate after tax cost of debt = 8.4% x (1 - 45%) = 4.62 = 4.62

since I used the approximate yield to maturity, my answer is not exact. That is why I have to look for the closest available option.

b. $39,200.
c. $31,150.
d. $40,175.
e. $30,875.

Answers

Answer:

$43,745

Explanation:

Calculation for what the Capital account reported on the Statement of Owner's Equity at the end of the month would be

Using this formula

Ending Capital Balance = Cash (1)+ Photography equipment (2) +Cash for services provided (4)+Services to customers on account (6)- Monthly rent(7)- Utility (9)

Let plug in the formula

Ending Capital Balance = $13,800 + $23,000 + $6,000 + $3,050 - $1,800 - $305

Ending Capital Balance= $43,745

Therefore the balance in the Capital account reported on the Statement of Owner's Equity at the end of the month would be: $43,745

Hankins, Inc., is considering a project that will result in initial aftertax cash savings of $5.3 million at the end of the first year, and these savings will grow at a rate of 3 percent per year indefinitely. The firm has a target debt-equity ratio of .52, a cost of equity of 13.2 percent, and an aftertax cost of debt of 6.6 percent. The cost-saving proposal is somewhat riskier than the usual project the firm undertakes; management uses the subjective approach and applies an adjustment factor of 1 percent to the cost of capital for such risky projects.Required:a. Calculate the WACC.b. What is the maximum cost the company would be willing to pay for this project?

Answers

Answer:

a.

WACC - Company = 10.94%

WACC - Project = 11.94%

b.

The maximum that the company will be willing to pay for this project is $61.0626 million

Explanation:

a.

To calculate the maximum cost that the company will be willing to pay today, we first need to find out the company and project WACC.

The WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost of a company's capital structure. It is calculated as follows,

WACC = wD * rD * (1 - tax rate)  +  wP * rP  +  wE * rE

Where,

d, p and e represents debt, preferred stock and common equityw represents the weight of each componentr represents the cost of each component

Weightage of  debt and equity

Total assets = debt + equity

Total assets = 0.52 + 1  = 1.52

wD = 0.52/1.52

wE = 1/1.52

WACC - Company = 0.52/1.52 * 0.066  +  1/1.52 * 0.132

WACC - Company = 0.1094 or 10.94%

WACC of project is 1% more than WACC of company. So WACC of project is 10.94% + 1%  =  11.94%

b.

The maximum that must be paid for this project can be calculated by calculating the present value of the cash flows provided in form of saving by this project.

Using the constant growth model of cash flow approach,

Present value = 5.3 * (1+0.03) / (0.1194 - 0.03)

Present value = $61.0626 million

Che MFG Company experiences the following cost behavior patterns each week
Fixed costs: supervisor's salary $1,200; factory rent $2,900
Mixed costs: utilities $1,700+ $5.75 per unit
Variable costs per unit manufacturing labor wages $21.00; supplies used in production $9.00; packaging cost $2.75, warranty cost $4
Required: Compute total costs to be incurred for a week with 2,770 units of activity. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Total cost___________

Answers

Answer:

Total cost= $123,525

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Fixed costs: supervisor's salary $1,200; factory rent $2,900

Mixed costs: utilities $1,700+ $5.75 per unit

Variable costs per unit manufacturing labor wages $21.00; supplies used in production $9.00; packaging cost $2.75, warranty cost $4

We need to determine the total cost of 2,770 units:

Total variable cost= 5.75*2,770 + 21*2,770 + 9*2,770 + 2.75*2,770 + 4*2,770

Total variable cost= $117,725

Total fixed costs= 1,200 + 2,900 + 1,700= $5,800

Total cost= 117,725 + 5,800= $123,525

The before-trade domestic price of tomatoes in the United States is $500 per ton. The world price of tomatoes is $400 per ton. The U.S. is a price-taker in the tomatoes market.
If trade in tomatoes is allowed, the United States:______
a) will experience increases in both consumer surplus and producer surplus.
b) may become either an importer or an exporter of tomatoes, but this cannot be determined.
c) will become an exporter of tomatoes.
d) will become an importer of tomatoes.

Answers

Answer:

d) will become an importer of tomatoes.

Explanation:

Consumer surplus would increase because the price at which they buy tomatoes would reduce while producer surplus would reduce because the price of tomatoes would reduce as a result of international trade.

Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the good.Because the price of tomatoes in the US is greater than the price of tomatoes in the world, when the US begins international trade, it would import tomatoes because it is inefficient in the production of tomatoes.  

Producer surplus is the difference between the price of a good and the least price the seller is willing to sell the product

ABC Industries is a division of a major corporation. Data concerning the most recent year appears below: Sales $ 17,910,000 Net operating income $ 1,199,970 Average operating assets $ 4,250,000 The division's return on investment (ROI) is closest to:

Answers

Answer:

28.23%

Explanation:

ABC corporation has a sales of $17,910,000

The net operating income is $1,199,970

The average operating assets is $4,250,000

Therefore, the ROI can be calculated as follows

ROI= Net operating income/Average operating assets

= $1,199,970/$4,250,000

= 0.2823×100

= 28.23%

Hence the division's return on investment is closest to 28.23%
